We are over 20 so far, but fielding a lot of calls and I know a group of 5 boats are getting in. Could be REALLY interesting on how many. The Mille Lacs 2012 NTC site is really helping!!

Jimmy you have an update on boat numbers?

We got an entry on the way

Hey Jimmy,
We leaving from Coville? Boat numbers still the same for those that entered last spring?
WKW

I am receiving entry’s daily and I think we are around 27 as of today. I am honestly saying though the calls and emails has me very optimistic that we are going to have a fantastic turnout. The boats that registered this spring will keep their numbers. Entry’s received since the official notifification of spring postponement will get boat number by order of receiving. Day two boat number will be determined by how you finished on Day 1 with biggest bag going out first.

Jimmy

Yes, we will be leaving from Coville

Still time to sign up. Send in your entry by mail or bring entry to orientation meeting this Friday. Sounds like the weather is going to be great….and the fish are biting.
